Oh no! Don't let this first bad experience deter you. I usually just make the juice, separate it into two glasses (one for me, one for the hubby) and then chug it! That avoids the spillage (usually :roll-laugh:)
That's excepting the cases where I'm making lemonade or grapefruit juice or something that I'm going to store in the fridge. They say, by the way, not to store veg juices in the fridge because they don'y' keep as well.
Keep on keepin' on!
Hi Guys,
All this talk about juicing, I might have to get mine back out again, its been put away since needing the space at Christmas time.

Acccording to my PR GP she said green apples are a no no. red sweet ones are AOK though. Pears and Mango are really good for RA
Same doc as me, Maz. Actually it's about the salicylate content. The green apples and alot of other fruit (including citrus and tomatoes) are a no-no because of their high salicylate content – red skinned apples are lower. Pears (peeled) and mango are not so much good for RA as low in salicylate content, so pretty okay. Lynnie
Hi Lynnie,
Stand corrected – thanks, (although I just repeated what she had written down for me)

No No Lynnie, I didn't mean it like that; believe me I am not that subtle when someone has a shot at me….lol
Dr D made a point of telling me to eat lots of mango & pears a few times, and my reply was I don't like pears at all and mangos are too sweet – she told me to squeeze lemon juice on them and eat them …. if I remember rightly it had something to do with taking down the inflammation I was experiencing at the time.
Anyway I digress – sorry,
Juicing is great – you should start every morning with fresh juice, gets the system going. I have a couple of really good juice recipe books at home and use them all the time.

Just read your thread butterfly and we must be going to the same MD here in Florida cause I have read all of the same books and yes they are eye openers! I would highly recommend the China Study too and I have been doing the vegan, Hallelujah diet too. Feeling much better. And ok ok, I even have gotten out my Jack Lalane juicer and have been juicing at least twice a day and adding green drink too. I will try the plastic bag trick (thanks Kim) to save a little more clean up time but I guess I have to say it is worth it now that I get how important it is. By the way Tom, it wasn't too expensive, I think about 150.00 and I think it does a fine job and doesn't oxidize the carrot juice I juice for my lunch at work. I need to schedule the stomach PH test with the MD soon. I am tempted to just treat myself as if I do have low stomach acid because I do highly suspect that is the case but I suppose that would be foolish on my part. It is just hard sometimes paying out of pocket when I have good insurance that doesn't mean much when going to alternative MDs. Thank goodness I found them through this board though cause I really do believe I will see remission!

For juicing fruits like lemons, oranges, limes, etc do you have to take the peel off first?
Thanks
My Lalane book says too remove the peel and just leave the white pith ( fiber) my Lalane books says the peel is too bitter and can make your drink taste too bitter to drink.
I think it depends on your juicer motor strength as I know my mom ruined hers that was not designed for the peel and burnt the motor out, and your personal taste. I can't drink anything made with the citrus peel left on.. Too bitter.
Here is a link to where I believe the original recipe came from (the keephopealive site) which explains quite alot of detail, including why a blender and role of the pectin in the peel. When blended, bitterness doesnt seem to be a problem.Lynnie

I thought apples had malic acid, which I read somewhere, ages ago, that malic acid was necessary for energy because it's used in the Kreb's cycle, to convert carbs to energy. I used to eat one a day and also take the supplements, and it did seem to help a little bit, but who knows?
Here is a good article in today's paper on juicing. Also has some recipes–
http://www.jsonline.com/features/food/40120722.html
Many years ago my husband and I gave his mother a VitaMix. She never used it and now after her passing we have it back. I think it's time to start it up–

Lyme/RA; AP 4/2008 off and on to 3/2010; past use of quinolones may be the cause of my current problems, (including wheelchair use); all supplements (which can aggravate the condition) were discontinued on 10/14/2012. Am now treating for the homozygous MTHFR 1298 mutation. Off of all pain meds since Spring '14 (was on them for years--doctor is amazed--me too). Back on pain med 1/2017. Reinfected? Frozen shoulder?
I love the idea of juicing. Well, I love the idea of the health benefits of juicing but not me actually doing the juicing. I did go out and buy a Breville a couple of days ago. I juiced carrots, 1/2 an apple and a few beet tops. Haven't been able to look at the juicer since I drink that. I think I like reading my juicing recipe book more! Ah theory and practice!
I'm sure you all have some wonderful recipe to share? I'll have my husband try first though as it'll all be for his own health.
All this talk about juicing made me feel really guilty! I bought a juicer a couple of months ago and haven't used it. In fact, it has been sitting in the laundry room unopened. I finally starting using it last week to make carrot juice and orange juice. Now I am sorry I didn't open it sooner. The juices are awesome! I can't wait for the kids to get home from school to try the O.J.
